LIST PRICE $28 MILLION
Completed in 2018 for sports analyst
and pro footballer Tony Gonzalez—best-known for his
illustrious career as a tight end with the Kansas City Chiefs
and Atlanta Falcons—this Philip Vertoch-designed estate
in Beverly Hills recently hit the market for the first time
with a $28 million price tag. For this, the new homeowner
of this striking seven-bedroom, 12-bath showpiece will
enjoy all of the luxe fare one would think to anticipate,
along with 12,800-plus square feet of lavish, Lada Webster-
designed living space not only ideal for intimate and
large-scale gatherings, but also for residing as a more-
than-content family.
"I absolutely love the modern take on a traditional
home," says Rayni Williams, who is co-listing the property
with Branden Williams, both of The Beverly Hills Estates,
and Michelle Graci of Rodeo Realty. "It's perfect for
entertaining, and incorporating children and adults into
fun, fabulous activities and parties. It has all the modern
amenities, and anything a buyer could think that they may
need or want. There is absolutely nothing a buyer needs
to do here."
Situated on a 30,000-square-foot parcel of land bordering
Beverly Hills and West Hollywood—just minutes from
Doheny Drive and Sunset Boulevard, as well as popular
Melrose Avenue eateries like Catch LA, Gracias Madre,
Rosaliné and The Nice Guy—the
residence is a modernized version of
a Georgian transitional. Among its
show-stopping elements: a dramatic
24-foot entry that opens to elegant,
spacious interiors offering seamless
i ndoor-outdoor env iron s, along
with a pub room displaying floor-to-
ceiling wine storage and an attractive
chiseled limestone fireplace wall, and
decked-out homeschool classroom.
Also on hand is a plush study with
built-in cabinetry and double doors
that open to the front of the estate;
sleek gourmet k itchen outfitted
with a sizable marble island that
leads into a large family room and
pub room; and sumptuous master
retreat offering a seating area with
fireplace, lavish bath, dual walk-in
closets and a secluded balcony. The
expansive grounds, meanwhile, host
an outdoor kitchen, lounge area with
fire-pit, lighted tennis court, pool and
spa, cabana, gym and subterranean
garage with room for eight-plus cars.
Last but far from least, the property is
being sold fully furnished.
